spybot 1.5 and XP

[spotty]

Hello all:

I am new here--thx for the opportunity to post. My old computer ran spybot 1.4 flawlessly the whole time (over 3 years) I used it---no problems. It ran on xp on a 2ghz system with 756 ram. I downloaded and installed 1.5 afgter uninstalling 1.4 and I had a very hard time getting it to open---I would double click the icon---and--it would not open. After retrying 4 or 5 times it finally opened. I uninstalled and reinstalled---same problem.

I now have a state of the atr system still running XP---will NOT ungrade to flawed VISTA. I have the same problem getting spybot to open.

I uninstalled and figured before I retry---I would post my problem here.

If no one can help with this---can someone please get me the 1.4 install file so I can at least continue to use spybot?

Thx very much---peace!

Hello,

We already have located the startup problems in Spybot S&D version 1.5 and fixed it.
Here is the download file for the fix - the new Spybot beta (http://www.spybotupdates.biz/files/beta/spybotsd15he-beta2.exe).

Is this the delayed response starting issue with SD1.5? I noticed after installing and updating SD1.5, when I would click on it to start it, my fans would spin up to wide-open, due to the CPU getting hot, as though I was playing Oblivion or something. After thirty seconds or so, the fans spin down and SD1.5 displays the progress bar and starts. If this is now fixed, I will update.

Hello,

Yes that's the case.
If you will upgrade the problem will be fixed. :)
